Gibson Basses / Re: Incoming SG Supreme
« on: January 30, 2011, 12:35:04 AM »You never know who your friends are ......
Zie pics as promised .........
This is basically the way she's arrived. She's got a set of spaghetti like ( .035 / .095 ? ) strings on her which are to be replaced post haste and a mock-bar is going to be installed of course. The jury isn't in about the "SG" TRC. Somehow it doesn't bother me as much as on the Standard. May have to do with the fleur-de-lis inlay on the headstock. The knobs aren't your standard speed knobs, they're a bit tapered. Me likes a lot better, they may even migrate to my Iba CS once the mirror caps have arrived ........... Hmmmm yeah ........ decisions decisions .....
Gorgeous!!! I want one

« on: January 29, 2011, 09:19:19 PM »Let's hope I've got enough time left then .....Always thought I would chuck it all in when I would turn 50 but here I am, going on 60 and still playing in an old fashioned blues-rock band ( amps on 11 and all that shit ). It's really a toss up what will stop me: arthritus or deafness .....
[EDIT]

The Outpost Cafe / Academy Awards
« on: January 29, 2011, 03:18:12 PM »
Natalie Portman HAS to win for Black Swan! She shoulda won for The Proffessional back when she was a precocious little darling too!!
It would SUCK if Benign won for portraying a lesbian. Did anyone even SEE that movie that stole it's title from The WHO?
The star of The Social Network-Jesse Eisenberg- had better win Best Actor over Colin Firth. That wooden pompous ass Colin is the Worst Actor Ever! lol
INCEPTION should win Best Picture first-because it's IMAGINATIVE & not a freakin' remake & second--because we all went to see it! 6 times more people saw it than King's Speech. Even Helena Bonham Carter-who is up for Best Supporting Actress for her role in King's Speech said "Sometimes he (Colin Firth) would look at me during filming & I was just yawning & looking at my watch."
I'd be happy if The Social Network won too tho...that is a fast paced BRILLIANT movie!
Tangled should be UP for Best Animated Flick! Best Animated Flick Ever! CRIME that it ain't nominated.
I'm hoping David Fincher will win Best Director for The Social Network too!
As I said, that is a BRILLIANT film!
The director of Black Swan could win & I'd be just as happy. That is a DARK freaky picture of a mental breakdown!!!
We'll see in a month--Feb. 27th! Anne Hathaway & James Franco will be hosting!!

Other Bass Brands / Re: DeArmond Starfire #2
« on: January 28, 2011, 12:35:23 AM »Picked up a 2nd Starfire yesterday. Had to rail all the way down to Dordrecht where I met with the seller who came up to Dordrecht to cut down my travel time. Took me a little under 3 hours to get there, that's about the limit for me where puplic transportation is concerned .....
She'll be on the rails again to Gouda this friday. PeterB's gonna fit her with ChiSonics and give her the standard CTS pots & Switchcraft jack-out upgrade.
Congrats again! You've been buyong a lotta basses!!!! Didja win the lottery or what?
